  • It has taken me about a year and a month to complete this colouring book. Podcasts I've been listening to a lot while colouring:
    "Filmspotting"
    "Strangers"
    If you have any questions about the book or my colouring, let me know in the comments.
    Music: www.bensound.com
    The songs: "Acoustic breeze" and "Ukulele".

    I like that its simple and it doesn't make non artists like me feel overwhelmed or intimidated

    Wow, what a beautiful book! I can imagine sitting on my sofa between my two little granddaughters and looking at every page together. Their little fingers would point at all the pretty colored objects and they'd have lots to say. Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired to keep on coloring!

    simply gorgeous!

    One of the best presents ever from my daughter was an extra copy of "Lost Ocean" because the pages are printed on both sides. I use three favorite artists for art/pain therapy. No, four. Me when things are going great. When deep therapy is needed, I truly enjoy your mystical drawings with all the wonderful "fiddly bits" that make me concentrate and emerge with a sense of accomplishment. Thanks, Johanna!

    Great job! I love her coloring books...you had actually 'introduced' me to her books and the entire world of adult coloring months ago when you showed another one of hers and I asked where you got it. I immediately looked on Amazon and they were sold out but found a copy at a local store. I have a whole bunch of coloring books now (and oodles of colored pencils) and love putting on some music and just relaxing.

    I think that it could never be defined "wasted" the time you spent to obtain such wonderful results. I love it! And I imagine the satisfaction that should bring, owning a completed colouring book like yours! I could watch this video for hours too, to catch every single detail. So plesant and relaxing to see. Thank you so much. Keep going!!

  • @elisabethstein5652
    @elisabethstein5652 Před 7 lety +4

    I absolutely love it!!! I can't believe you actually completed it from start to finish! I own this book since Christmas 2015 and have completed eight or nine of the drawings, but I haven't given up on it yet. And I want Basford's new book!!

    • @helenejeppesen2133

Your book is so beautiful and the pages look like very high end wallpaper. I love this book so much I’m buying it now and hope to grow into soon. Thank you for the video
